BLIMP1 controls GC B cell expansion and exit through regulating cell cycle progression and key transcription factors BCL6 and IRF4

ABSTRACT: In B cells BLIMP1 is required for plasma cell differentiation. BLIMP1 is also expressed in some dark zone (DZ) germinal center (GC) B cells (GCBCs), yet the role of BLIMP1 in GCBCs is not understood. Here we generated mixed bone marrow (BM) chimeric mice using Prdm1+/+ CD19Cre and Prdm1fl/fl CD19Cre BM, allowing us to examine the cell-intrinsic functions of BLIMP1 in GCBC, independent of antibody or antigen levels. Strikingly, BLIMP1-deficient B cells quickly dominate GCs and persist for a much longer time compared to the wild type cells. BLIMP1 deficiency promotes positive selection of GCBC and enhances cell-cycle progression. In addition, BLIMP1 deficiency enhanced class-switching. Mechanistically, BLIMP1-deficient GCBC fail to downregulate BCL6 and to upregulate IRF4, indicating that BLIMP1 controls the expression of these transcription factors that mediate exit from the GC. These studies revealed unique functions of BLIMP1 in regulating GCBC responses that impact long-lived immune compartments.

Blimp1 controls plasma cell physiology and function

Project description:Antibody-secreting plasma cells are the terminal stage of the B-cell lineage. Plasma cell differentiation requires a major resetting of gene expression to silence the B cell transcriptional program, whilst establishing secretory function and long-term survival. The transcription factors Blimp1 and Irf4 are essential for the initial differentiation of activated B cells to antibody-secreting cells, however their function in mature plasma cells remains elusive. We have found that while Irf4 was essential for plasma cell survival, Blimp1 was dispensable. Blimp1-deficient cells retained the unique plasma cell transcriptional signature, but lost the ability to secrete antibody or to maintain the characteristic size and ultrastructure of plasma cells. Blimp1 was required for full expression of many components of the unfolded protein response (UPR), including Xbp1 and Atf6, as well as for the appropriate processing of Igh mRNA. The overlap of Blimp1 and Xbp1 function was restricted to the UPR genes, with Blimp1 uniquely regulating activity of the mTOR pathway, plasma cell size and morphology. These studies establish Blimp1 as a major regulator of the UPR pathway that is also required for the unique metabolic requirements of plasma cells enabling the secretion of protective antibody. RNA-seq was performed on wild type, Blimp1-/- and Xbp1-/- mouse plasma cells. Between two to four biological replicates were generated and sequenced for each sample.

STAT3 signaling in B cells controls germinal center zone organization and recycling [RNA-seq]

Project description:Germinal centers (GCs), sites of antibody affinity maturation, are organized into dark (DZ) and light (LZ) zones. Here, we uncovered a B cell intrinsic role for STAT3 in GC DZ and LZ organization. Altered zonal organization of STAT3-deficient GCs dampened GC output of long-lived plasma cells (LL-PCs) but increased memory B cells (MBCs). Tfh-GC B cell interaction drive STAT3 tyrosine 705 and serine 727 phosphorylation in LZ B cells, facilitating their recycling into the DZ. An inducible system confirmed STAT3 is not involved in initiating or maintaining the GC but sustains GC zonal organization by regulating GC B cell recycling. RNAseq and ChIPseq analysis identified genes regulated by STAT3 that are critical for LZ cell recycling and transiting through the DZ proliferation and differentiation phases of the DZ. Thus, STAT3 signaling in B cells controls GC zone organization and recycling, and GC egress of LL-PCs, but negatively regulates MBC output.

Blimp1 is required to repress Foxp3+ regulatory T cell pathogenic activity in mice

Project description:Foxp3+Tregcells are essential modulators of immune responses but under specific conditions can acquire inflammatory properties and potentially contribute to disease pathogenesis. Here we show that the transcription factor Blimp1 is a critical regulator of Foxp3+Treg functional plasticity. The intrinsic expression of Blimp1 was required to prevent Treg from producing Th17-associated cytokines and acquiring an inflammatory phenotype while preserving Foxp3 expression. Mechanistically, Blimp1 acts as a direct repressor of the Il17a/Il17f genes in Foxp3+Treg and binding of Blimp1 at this locus is associated with altered chromatin status, reduced binding the co-activator p300, unaltered binding of the Th17-asssociated transcription factor RORt and more abundant binding of IRF4, which was required for the production of IL17A in Blimp1-deficient Foxp3+Tregcells, as shown by IRF4 siRNA-mediated knockdown. Consistent with their capacity to produce inflammatory cytokines, Blimp1-deficient Foxp3+Treg exacerbate Th17-mediated inflammation in vivo indicating that Blimp1 is required to prevent Treg cells from acquiring pathogenic properties

BLIMP1 induces cancer immune evasion by modulating the USP22-SPI1-PD-L1 axis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells

Project description:To clarify the potential BLIMP1 downstream target regulating PD-L1 expression, we performed proteomics analysis using BLIMP1 Hep3B cells and control cells. Proteomics analysis revealed that SPI1 may serve as a pivotal transcriptional factor that enhances PD-L1 expression by acting as a downstream effector of BLIMP1.

The transcriptional repressor BLIMP1 curbs host-defenses by suppressing expression of the chemokine CCL8

Project description:The transcriptional repressor BLIMP1 is a master regulator of B and T cell differentiation. To examine the role of BLIMP1 in innate immunity we used a conditional knockout (CKO) of Blimp1 in myeloid cells and found that Blimp1 CKO mice were protected from lethal infection induced by Listeria monocytogenes. Transcriptome analysis of Blimp1 CKO macrophages identified the murine chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 8, CCL8 as a direct target of Blimp1-mediated transcriptional repression in these cells. BLIMP1-deficient macrophages expressed elevated levels of Ccl8 and consequently Blimp1 CKO mice had higher levels of circulating CCL8 resulting in increased neutrophils in the peripheral blood, promoting a more aggressive anti-bacterial response. Mice lacking the Ccl8 gene were more susceptible to L. monocytogenes infection than wild type mice. While CCL8 failed to recruit neutrophils directly, it was chemotactic for Î³/Î´ T cells and CCL8-responsive Î³/Î´ T cells were enriched for IL-17F. Finally, CCL8-mediated enhanced clearance of L. monocytogenes was dependent on Î³/Î´ T cells. Collectively, these data reveal an important role for BLIMP1 in modulating host-defenses by suppressing expression of the chemokine CCL8. RNA (5Î¼g) was isolated from WT and Blimp1 CKO BMDM untreated or infected for 2 hours with L.monocytogenes (MOI=5). Three biological replicates were performed for each experimental condition. The gene chip mouse genome 430 2.0 Array (Affymetrix) was used. Biological replicates were normalized using the GCRMA method and analyzed using various Bioconductor tools.
